Product Description
The unique inside story of one of the most controversial public figures, Gerry Adams here reveals the truth behind the headlines of how the peace process was begun and how it was brought to fruition. Looking at covert talks between Republicans and the British government, the Irish-American role and meetings in the White House, the emergence of dissidents within the Republican movement, the breakdown of the first IRA cessation and the final negotiations, this is perhaps the single most important book yet to be published on the question of Northern Ireland.

Format:Hardcover
Gerry Adams' account of recent events in Northern Ireland provides a fresh and intriguing insight into the operations of Sinn Fein and the struggle for peace and unity throughout Ireland.
Where I was once fearful of Sinn Fein and their unification movement, I now find myself applauding their efforts for taking a stand against the dominance and the forcefulness of the (less than Democratic) British Empire.
This is an excellent read and well written. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in the fight for equality, not just in Northern Ireland but anywhere in the world.

Artist of Peace
2 Nov 2003
Format:Hardcover
Much is known of Gerry Adams, statesman, man of peace, friend of the stars. Less well known perhaps is Adams the artist. Adams is perhaps best known for not being a member of the IRA, and yet so vivid are his descriptions of the IRA's struggle against violence, that it is almost as if he were there in the room as they deliberated. The book comes at a crucial juncture, and reminds us that all that peace does not just happen, but must be seized. No man is better placed to truly take that peace.
